------------
Notes from the family bible.
Little Jennie, who was about two years of age, and the youngest, became very seasick. She continued to grow worse until they feared for her life. At that time it was believed if anyone died on ship their body had to be thrown overboard, as the sharks would over turn the sailboat. Grand-ma Clemison prayed that she would at least live until they reached land, for she could not bear the thought of burying her at sea, and of never again knowing where her body was. Her prayer was answered, for they landed safely, and had gone to Grandma Clemison's brothers home in New York State when little Jennie died from being so weakened from her voyage on the ship.
They buried her there in New York.
